ADVICE TO YOUNG LADIES

For most women, periods last for
5-7 days every month. However,
the blood flow during these days
is not the same for every woman. In the first few years after the
onset of menarche (first
menstruation), young ladies
sometimes experience light flow
that last for less than 5 days
and this is commonly referred to as short menstruation. Another major reason for short
menstruation could be stress-
emotional, mental and physical.
Also, being close to the age of
menopause could affect the
duration and nature of your flow. Other reasons for short
menstruation could be pregnancy
and health problems. However, the best way to be
certain about the cause of your
short menstruation is to consult
your doctor.
